First record of Copidognathus tectiporus (Viets, 1935) (Acari: Halacaridae) from the Lake Eğirdir, Isparta, Turkeyhttp://actabiologicaturcica.com/index.php/abt/article/view/226
<p>In this study, morphological characters of all life stages of <em>Copidognathus tectiporus</em> (Viets, 1935) described and illustrated with habitat information and worldwide distribution. The family Halacaridae is recorded for the first time from the Lake Eğirdir, Isparta, Turkey.</p>Furkan DURUCAN

2018-02-082018-02-0831115A distinctive locus among three Passer species inferred from allozyme datahttp://actabiologicaturcica.com/index.php/abt/article/view/217
<p>This study was conducted on three of the four <em>Passer </em>species found in Turkey. The aim of this study was to determine the genetic variations and genetic differentiations of <em>Passer</em> subpopulations in Turkey. The population genetics of <em>Passer domesticus, P. montanus</em> and <em>P. hispaniolensis</em> were studied according to variations at allozymic loci. The allozyme variations at 23 loci were examined, among which <em>Ca</em>, <em>Ck</em>, <em>Est</em>, <em>Idh-s</em> and <em>Idh-m</em> were found to be polymorphic. The<em> </em><em>Passer </em>subpopulations were separated into three main groups in a tree. Group I consisted mostly of subpopulations from Black Sea and Aegean regions, with <em>P. domesticus </em>and <em>P. hispaniolensis</em> subpopulations nested in the first part of the group. Group II was formed by Central Anatolian and Mediterranean <em>P. domesticus </em>subpopulations. Group III consisted only of subpopulations of<em> P. montanus</em>. Furthermore, <em>G3pdh-2</em> was identified as a distinctive locus that separated <em>P. montanus</em> from the other species.</p>Fulya SAYGILI YİĞİT

<p>Different concentrations (2, 5, 10, 50, 100, 200, 500 and 1000 mg/L) of gibberellic acid (GA<sub>3</sub>) were used to determine the effects of plant growth regulators on development, fecundity, sex ratio and longevity of parasitoid <em>Bracon hebetor</em> (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) reared on greater wax moth, <em>Galleria mellonella</em> (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae). Treatment with GA<sub>3 </sub>prolonged the developmental period of female wasps at 2, 50, 500 and 1000 mg/L and at 10, 500 and 1000 mg/L in male wasps. However, GA<sub>3</sub> did not negatively affect the fecundity and sex ratio of parasitoid. <em>Bracon hebetor</em> females reared on GA<sub>3</sub>-treated hosts had lower longevity at 10, 500 and 1000 mg/L than the females reared on untreated hosts. For males a significant decline in longevity was also recorded at 5 and 10 mg/L with respect to controls.</p>Özgür ÖZCANNevran Eylem AKMAN GÜNDÜZ
